CI 2480-200 ComDat Antenna | VHF/GPS

The CI 2480-200 antenna combines both GPS and VHF functions in a single footprint. It features a 4-hole mounting pattern with same dimension as popular VHF antennas and provides a TNC connection for GPS and a BNC connection for VHF. While providing 80 dB of VHF harmonic suppression, the CI 2480-200 allows for VHF and GPS operation in one radome without the installation of in-line filters.

The CI 2480-200 antenna has a “drop-in” replacement design for common, single engine aircraft that have a teardrop footprint, it also works with popular 26.5 dB gain GPS panel mount systems. The patented design is perfect for helicopter applications and is tested under the toughest RTCA DO-160D environmental conditions.
